Alden

One of the moons of the world

This moon is bluish in color and is visible only during the 17 days of Aldentide. Signals the beginning of Aldentide, but also the renewal of life. the Vernal Equinox, still? Used to be a pagan holiday but was moved to the beginning of the month by Franklin Flynch so perhaps the arrival of Alden meant get ready, and then the pagan celebration began when Alden was no longer visible. Alden signals peace, as the celebration of Aldentide was supposed to be a pre-planting time when people put up their weapons and celebrated the renewal of life. Alden also symbolizes balance -- a time for introspection and understanding oneself
